Overview - What is Billing Services?
Billing services enables Infinigate Cloud partners to use CORE for Credit Control and Billing collection purposes.
The CORE control panel can be customised by Product Ops to deliver 4 options

4. Invoicing, collection and automated credit control
Once configured, CORE will then issue an invoice every month and collect payment for the Partners customers via either Direct Debit or credit card automatically, and perform basic credit control tasks such as putting customers on hold for non-payment (depending on the option
selected at signup).
